The Ugly Truth Behind the Olympics.

The Paris Olympics are here, but is the city ready? Not a single Olympic Games has stayed under budget in the last 60 years. Not London, not Rio, not Athens - they all bled cash. Cities are starting to wake up to the fact that hosting the event may not be worth it. In this video, I travel to Paris to interview locals about the truth behind the economics, hidden costs, and long-term impact of the Olympics.
